Do you know who you are?

Chapter 3

Darkness is all there was. No light anywhere, no wall that surrounded him. A ceiling didn't exist, neither did a floor. He was just floating, not even gravity existed. There was nothing. Except for himself. Louis. He was alone. Even time left him, all by himself. Feeling like he was floating around, but too detached from his own body to be able to control anything.

He couldn't move his arms, or legs. He tried concentrating on just moving his eyes. Nothing happened. His eyes were closed and not even his pupils were moving underneath. It't like time around him was frozen. Louis couldn't move, he couldn't talk, not even breathe. His body seemed to be shutting down, maybe it already did. All he could do was exist. All he could do was wait for he didn't even know what, maybe he was waiting for nothing. Because that's all there was around him. Nothing.

It might have been his imagination, his mind playing tricks on him. A light, coming somewhere far away on his right side. Not like the light at the end of the tunnel that people talk about in movies. This was different. He didn't feel drawn to the light, had no desire to move his body near the source. Not that he could, even if he wanted to. Again, a ray of light, this time on his left side.   This was definitely not like the light of at the end of the tunnel, this wasn't the end. Something inside him told him that this was a good thing, a new beginning. The light was gone again. It was dark.

He didn't know how much time passed. Everything was dark, when he saw it again. A light on his right side. He looked to the left. There it was for mere seconds, before it went dark. Unknowingly he looked to his right, searching for whatever this is. It left him, but not for long.

The next time the light wasn't alone. What was this... noise? Was he going crazy? He must be, there was no other explanation. The darkness was so quiet, there was no way he would have missed this noise. It sounded far away, too far. Why wouldn't it come closer? Suddenly, it was gone. He was alone. Again.

It felt like an eternity until he heard it again. But this time without the light. The light hasn't come back. Was this a good thing?

Beep.
Beep

Where was it coming from? He waited, nothing else he could do anyway. Maybe it would come closer and he could tell what made this noise, but no luck. Instead of getting louder, it dissapeared completely and like the light never came back.

He felt like his mind was shut off and with everything new happening, it was coming back to life. Wanting his body to follow, but no matter what he tried to do, he failed. Over and over again. All he did was try. The thought of giving up never even crossed his mind, eventhough he didn't know what he was fighting for, he kept going.

The only thing he could do was let his eyes wander as he looked through the darkness. He felt like there was something right in front of him. Something he should be able to see. But he just couldnmr. His hands won't move to reach out into the unknown, to maybe feel what he was missing.

A light. But it wasn't alone. It came back with something. But what was it? The object was familiar, it was on the tip of his tounge. There seemed to be a barrierer somewhere in his brain, not allowing him to say the word, he can't even think of it. Apparently it took him too long to identify the object so it vanished. Alone. Once again.

He closed his eyes, he didn't want to see the darkness again. At this point it seemed to mock him,. Who can't remember the simplest things in life? Him, obviously.

Beep

Beep

Beep

He snapped his eyes open, looking frantically for the noise. Was it mocking him now too? He let his eyes wander, the light. It's back. With the noise. And the object.
